Boju Bajai in conversation with पूर्व सम्पादक बिनु सुवेदी। Binu is one of the few women in Nepali media, who has led newsrooms and has extensively reported on national politics, as well as social justice. In this episode, we talk to Binu about her journalism career, the role of independent journalism in democracy, सम्पादक ब्रोस and how Nepali newsrooms need to do better when it comes to prioritising stories of women and people from other marginalised communities.
